Put the final nail in that monstrosity of a project called HS2 and there will be close on 40 billon to add to the 39 billion clawed back from the EU Divorce bill and Boris has it sorted!

Mind you, most of it will probably be eaten up by mates rates compensation packages for contractors and corporations.
